I have a few MW525 boards and two 7i43's here if you want me to try something.
One is hooked up and running on my bench right now and I am running the master software as of about a month ago. But as Peter said, I think the same error occurs if you disconnect the EPP cable or don't connect the 5 volts to the 7i43 board. The last error is the key - it can't find the board at all. You might want to make up another cable? Dave On 11/26/2011 10:32 AM, Peter C.
